****Ok, so this is A/U V/B and G/CC and ? story. (no powers) They're in high school. ****

It was Friday afternoon and Goku and Vegeta were in their 6th period Gym class. Goku was holding a punching bag, while Vegeta made short work of it.

"God Vegeta, do you have destroy this thing every day?" Goku grunted, "Holding this for you isn't easy, ya know."

"Shut up, Kakarrot." Vegeta growled.

"So what time should we all meet at your house for Keri's party tonight?" Goku asked.

"I would have to say sometime around 8:30pm." Said Vegeta.

"That sounds good." Agreed Goku, "Make sure you dress to impress."

"Impress who?"

"Bulma." Said Goku, "You know she's likes you." Vegeta just groaned at his comment.

"Whatever, Kakarrot." Sighed Vegeta. Vegeta stopped laying hits into the bag.

"Why'd you stop?" Goku asked.

"Well one, class is over, and two my sister just walked in." said Vegeta with added sarcasm. Goku nodded in agreement and they walked over to Vegeta's sister.

"Hey Vega." Goku greeted, "Where've you been all day?"

"I stayed home." Vega replied. She tucked her long black hair behind her ears.

"Are you sick?" Goku asked, "Bulma and ChiChi will be bummed if you don't come tonight."

"I don't know if I'm going to go. I want to, but I have to see how things go." Said Vega, "But I really do want to go. If you see Bulma and ChiChi tell them I'll call them both later."

"OK." Replied Goku, "Vegeta, I'm going to get changed." As Goku ran towards the locker room he turned around, "Hey Vega do you want me to have Turles wait for you?"

"No, Goku, I don't." replied Vega, "You two just go."

"Ok." Replied Goku half confused.

"Later man." Vegeta replied to him. Once Goku had left, Vegeta's demeanor changed towards his sister, "So, why'd you skip school?"

"I didn't skip, Dad knows I stayed home." Said Vega, "Go get your bag."

Vegeta nodded and went to go get his gym bag. He came back a few minutes later and they started to walk.

"So what's up?" Vegeta asked, "You never come to me for a ride home. Why aren't you getting a ride with Turles and his retarded brother?"

"Turles and I broke up last night." She said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"What happened?" he asked, "He didn't cheat on you did he? I'll kill him."

"No he didn't cheat on me." hissed Vega, "Why would you even suggest that?"

"I'm just asking." Vegeta snapped back, "So what happened?"

"We just decided that since he was a senior and he was going away to school next year that it probably wouldn't work."

"We, as in, you and he decided together?" Vegeta asked.

"Yea." She said as they walked out of the school and towards the shit- shaker convertible they shared.

"Why am I getting the sense that you are not completely comfortable with it?"

"I'm not." Said Vega. They approached the car and Vegeta unlocked the doors and they both got in.

"So what are you going to do about it?" Vegeta asked as he put the top down on the car. Vega tapped the half heart crystal that was hanging from the rear-view mirror.

"I don't know." She sighed as a tear rolled down her cheek, "I don't think I'm going to Keri's party tonight."

"Oh yes you are." Said Vegeta, "It'll take your mind off it." As he pulled out of the school parking lot and started to drive home.

"Vegeta, Turles is going to be there. How am I supposed to take my mind off of it, if he's there."

"You're going to show him how you don't need him by going to the party."

"Are you feeling ok, Vegeta?" Vega laughed through her tears, "Since when do you care?"

"You are my little sister, it's my duty to protect you." Vegeta groaned.

"Vegeta, you're older than me by 4 hours." Vega laughed, "But you're right, I'll show him that I can do just fine without him. Maybe I'll find a prom date tonight."

"Now that's the Vega we all know." Smirked Vegeta.

"Now what about you and Bulma?" asked Vega?

"There is no me and Bulma, and what about it?"

"Oh come on Vegeta! Quit pussy footing around her, everyone has seen the way you look at her when you think no one is looking." Said Vega.

"If I look at her at all, it's only in pure disgust." Vegeta snorted.

"You can't even make me buy that act." Smiled Vega, "You and Goku may have been friends since we were 5, but that doesn't mean he knows you better than me."

"Whatever." Vegeta snorted as they pulled into their driveway.

It was about quarter to nine when Bulma, ChiChi and Goku showed up. As soon as Vegeta let them in, Bulma and ChiChi ran up to Vega's room. Goku looked at Vegeta, knowing they weren't going anywhere for a while. Vegeta nodded to Goku.

"Grand Theft Auto?" Goku asked.

"Grand Theft Auto." Vegeta agreed. Vegeta pulled out his PS2 and the two began playing video games. Meanwhile, Bulma and ChiChi were talking with Vega.

"Oh my god, Vega, Goku just told us about you and Turles." Bulma gabbed.

"How'd Goku find out?" Vega asked.

"When Turles said he wasn't coming with us to the party, Goku asked him why and Turles told him." Said ChiChi as she picked up Vega's black kitten, Nova and set her down in her lap.

"and Goku told you. It's ok," Vega, sighed, "really it is."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Bulma asked.

"I didn't want the whole school to know." Said Vega, "You know how I feel when I know people are talking about me."

"Well I'm sure people are going to know tonight." Said Bulma.

"I know, but Vegeta talked me into coming." Vega sighed again.

"I'm sorry, sweetie. You two were like perfect together." ChiChi said, "What happened?"

"We had a long talk last night." Vega said as she finished up curling her hair, "We talked about how he wanted to go away to school and how when I graduate I want to go to community college for a couple years. We just decided that it wouldn't work out."

"That's crap, Vega." Bulma said, "If he really loved you, he'd find a way to make it work."

"Bulma, we both decided. It wasn't all on him." Vega replied.

"But you love him, I know you do." Said ChiChi as she continued to pet, Nova

"What are you going to do tonight? I mean, he's going to be there." Asked Bulma.

"I'm going to have a good time, and I'm not going to let it get to me." Vega promised herself.

"I'm sure that skank Rae has already got her eyes on him." Said Bulma.

"I don't even want to think about that." Vega grumbled. But the more Vega did think about it, the more it upset her. Vega looked at herself in the mirror.

"You look awesome." Said ChiChi.

"Not awesome enough." Smirked Vega. She pulled her shirt off as she stalked into her closet. Once inside, she shut the door and pulled out her black mini skirt. She took off her jeans and put the skirt on instead. The skirt has two small slits on the side with white rhinestones around it. She then pulled out a black short sleeve shirt. The shirt showed a small amount of her mid-drift. The shirt also had a low enough neck line that it showed a decent amount of cleavage. She put on a silver metal belt around her waist to accent her stomach. Then to top off she put on a pair of high- heeled sandals. She walked out of her closet.

"WOW!" Bulma and ChiChi said in unison. Vega took out her silver arm brand and wrapped it around her arm.

"Now you look totally awesome!" ChiChi cheered, Nova meowed along with her.

"Thanks." Vega smirked. Vega grabbed her makeup and threw it into her purse, "Let's go." ChiChi set Nova down on the bed, and the three girls left the room and walked down stairs.

"Enough video games, boys. It's time to go." Said ChiChi as she grabbed Goku's arm and pulled him to his feet. Just then Vegeta and Vega's dad came out from the kitchen.

"Ok, kids where are you going tonight?" he asked.

"We're going to a party, daddy." Vega said.

"and what time will you be home?"

"12:30am." Vega and Vegeta groaned in unison.

"Break it and I'll break your neck." He smirked.

"Alright dad." Vegeta said, "Later." With that the five walked out the door.
